I remember you well and I always appreciated your humor in the midst of the chaos you were going through. Great to have you check back in and update us on what's going on since then. I've missed your voice here but I'm glad you're not around here anymore because of a **good** reason!

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the kind words and very pleased to hear you have been BB free for some time now.
I know it can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel but it is there, it just takes a lot of effort to get through to the end at times.
Hopefully you will keep an eye out and remain clear from here on in.
Hopefully we don't need to chat again.

What a great story - and I LOVE that your landlord is now living in your old apt - may he sleep as well as he deserves.
I didn't read the previous old posts but while on the subject of arses: I had complained to a fellow bb sufferer that I got a large bite on my derriere and he said "it's telling that at your age the only thing interested in your behind is a bedbug" We're both older (40 - 50 yrs) and I had to laugh though it depressed me later!

yiamon sorry it took me a week to resond but I was out of town.
My experiment with the vinegar and baking soda had mixed results. While I was sitting on the edge of the bed (no headboard and the bed was pulled away from the wall) combining the mixture and slowly blowing it towards the wall that I had seen bb's emerge from (and found a trail of blood from the bed to the wall at one point) under a red LED light (lest they get scared of the light) I was feeling like a mad professor. I remember a dark laugh in my head and thinking something like "come on out you little devils I've got you now".
Do you think one came crawling out? Sadly no but one did sneak up behind me on the bed - I couldn't see it in the red LED light - and bit me (yes you guessed it) on the ass again. All in all I considered it a minor success as one did come out just not where I thought I'd see it at.

Hey IBB,
So glad all is well.I still think you've got the best sense of humor! So many times I felt like crying and would read one of your posts and end up with tears from laughter.Hope your around for a xmas song or two!May we never be cursed w/ bb's ever again! -
Right, the bites on the ass and other discreet locations is awful. I now just shove my spray bottle of rubbing alcohol in wherever I'm being bit and spray.
Sanitized for your protection
(look! it's what's left of my sense of humor)
